I need a prescription swimming goggles. And my prescription is below; OD: SPH (-6.00) CYL (-1.75) AXIS(x180)
OS: SPH (-5.25) CYL (-2.25) AXIS(x180)
Distance, PD=70.
What swimming goggles can I buy with the result above?? Let’s say I wear negative 6 lenses for both eyes. Is it going to work fine??

On Kiefer.com I found the following, which I would not have guessed:
"Use your glasses prescription by adding spherical & cylindrical measurements to estimate diopter."
If that’s right, you should probably order -8. So you might want to call and get some help before you order. I’m sure your eye doctor would be happy to help you get the right power, too.

You can go to speedo.com and get speedo optical goggles where you can choose the prescription. You could get -6 diopter goggles. THey work great.
